Welcome back to the 80s! You can’t talk about the 80s without discussing the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union. There was real fear that tensions between these two superpowers would lead to nuclear war. Episode 16 “Cold War Kids” features such artists as U2, Sting, Prince, and Men at Work who wrote songs that reflected these anxieties.
A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners. As always, thanks to Team Boomtown: Alan (artwork), DJ Phil B (technical advice) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.
